see title. do I have that correct? (I base this on the fact that the stacking plan for 110/119 calls for LHCP for the three 110w transponders which are all even.)

LET ROT

Left =even transponders
Right= odd transponders

Need add mnemonic for V and H polarity for 95W and 72.5 W .

Funny how the brain works. I'll never have to question my recollection again.

H comes before V
72.5 comes before 95

:scratch:

 

[P Smith]

And how you will rhyme V/H to odd/even ?

 

[Dirac]

Looks like I misunderstood the issue.

Guess I'll have to :scratch: a little more!

Actually, I think 72.5 uses left and right hand circular. A standard 18" dish and LNB works with 72.5.

Yeah …it is. The 95 degree satellite, Galaxy IIIC I think it is, for DirecTV's international programming (WorldDIRECT) uses linear V/H polarization however. Specifically "horizontal" in this case.

What I always forget is the circular polarization labeled as "right" or "left" from the viewpoint of the transmitter antenna as it beams the signal away from itself. Or the receiving antenna observing the approaching wave front of the signal?
